Breaking Bad

Dublo7

Breaking Bad is a really fucking great show. Everybody that loves good TV should watch it.

"A drama about a high school chemistry teacher who's suffering from the world's worst case of mid-life crisis and becomes a criminal."

The 4th episode just came out, and I shall watch it later tonight.

It's probably some of the best drama I've seen on TV, along with Six Feet Under. It's sad, it's pessimistic, but it's also funny in really dark ways.

Anyway, let's talk about this awesome show.

He is not wearing any pants.

god i love this show

it's the only show i actually watch any more

Artreus

Why is that guy always naked or close to it? At least I think that is the guy who played the dad in Malcom in the Middle. I should look into it, that guy was cool.

Dublo7

Yeah, it's the dad from Malcom in the Middle. He's really, really good in the show.

potatoe

but i won't say anything
because you haven't seen it

Poorochondriac

Hey wait why didn't I make this thread.

Monoxide

this show

it's a good show

Janson

I need to see this show

Poorochondriac

Janson, you can see the first three episodes on the AMC website.

It really is the best new show on television, by a very, very wide margin.

Janson

I can usually trust SE++ recommendations

You are in for a treat.

The opening scene of the pilot is one of the strongest hooks I've ever seen from a TV show. That whole first episode is amazing. The second is a solid follow-up, and then the third is what's likely to keep you watching forever.

Man, I love this show. Even talking about it is getting me all amped.

Polago

You're all convincing me to watch this show. Congratulations!

Pooro got me into this show. I owe the guy a handjob, or a beer or something.

First two (I thought it was three, but checking corrected me) episodes are on the AMC website, here: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1336690183/bclid1341017816/bctid1400565057

If you can watch up through the opening credits on that first episode and not be sold, I will be shocked.

But the only ones of those that are airing now are The Wire, adult swim, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report.

And they don't air the same time Breaking Bad does.

trentsteel

Anyone else see Colbert and Daily show the other night?

Conan, Colbert AND John were all on both episodes, fighting

That whole debacle was from during the strike. Way to keep with the times.

And Barcardi, that is a terrible excuse. AMC website, now.

trentsteel

Aw fuck and I was all excited it was new

I have to watch the tv's at my neighbors so I rarely see anything

every time the show would air i would think about making this thread
but by the time the episode was over i would forget again

i'm glad someone finally stepped up

Rampant Entity

I live in Canada, so chances are I won't see this for about another year.

Docshifty

This show is great. I kept catching the commercials for it constantly so when it came time to air I sat down and watched it. His reaction to those teenagers in the clothing store was just perfect.

The Far Side

I love this show

Yeah, he played that pitch-perfect. It's not "I'm a badass now." It's "I'm dead in a year, so I'll be god damned if I'm putting up with anybody's shit."

Another great part was "Fuck you and your eyebrows!" It was just a haha what kind of moment. I'm really hopin' this series doesn't fall through.

This show is so so so so so great. Bryan Cranston's performance is fucking inspired.

And as an aside, folks with Comcast HD receivers can watch this in HD-on-Demand, which is outstanding since--at least in Seattle--AMC has no dedicated HD channel.

Poorochondriac

Hey, Nap, did you see my In Bruges post in the Oscar thread?
